Traditional Northeastern food is primarily a blend of various European cuisines. Popular dishes include seafood dishes like clam chowder, dishes featuring seafood like the Lobster Roll, Italian-American dishes like manicotti and pizza, and Jewish-influenced dishes like pastrami and knishes. Barbecue is also popular in some areas, with the St. Louis-style ribs being particularly well-known in the Midwest. Additionally, Philadelphia-style sandwiches, such as cheesesteaks and hoagies, are iconic in the region.
